We have been working with Josh from Mindful training for over a year now and we’ve seen big changes in our dogs. The approach they take to positive reinforcement is so beneficial to our dogs and they continue to thrive with the help of Josh and the team. I highly recommend them!

About Mindful Training
Mindful Training is a dog training service based around teaching the pet parents how to be a mindful dog trainer for their own dog. We teach you basic obedience, troubleshoot any difficult behaviors, and practice with you all along the way. We also include daily training notes so you can refer back to our sessions at any point. We begin our service with a consultation at your residence (or remotely via webcam). The consult usually lasts 30min-1hr. The consult is used to discuss your goals, concerns, and answer all of your training and behavior questions. We then briefly discuss our modality, "how" we train. Lastly we discuss our logistics of service. If you decide our service is appropriate for you we can schedule a training session.

Josh is an absolutely wonderful person and stellar trainer. Patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He's diligent and communicative in his business and scheduling. Overall an absolute pleasure to work with.
Joshua was responsive and professional. He clearly explained our options to us and offered useful resources! Highly recommend!

Choosing Mindful Training was the best decision we could have made for our dog Ivy! Toni was so patient, kind, and charismatic throughout the whole process. We opted for the largest training package (12 classes) which was extremely helpful for training Ivy to be the best she can be! We learned so much about training and got all of the tools we needed for success. I can’t recommend Mindful Training enough- definitely made the right choice with this one. If you are looking for an option that is geared towards gentle training (which you should be!) then these guys are right for you.

Josh has helped me train 2 dogs... but he has also trained me. He recently helped me with my puppy, Sirius. He's very friendly and is always eager to meet new humans and other dogs. He used to tackle strangers of excitement. Now he goes with me to public spaces and is able to stay until he's told "okay". He doesn't jump like he used to. He walks without pulling the leash and keeps eye contact. We go to Yard Bar and checks on me. I highly recommend Mindful Training!
